How do we contact you? If we need to contact you, we will do so by e-mail, by phone or in writing to the e-mail address or postal address you provide in your order.

“In writing” also includes e-mail. When we use the terms “in writing” or “in written form” in these Terms and Conditions, this shall also apply to e-mail messages.

OUR CONTRACT CONCLUDED WITH YOU

How do we receive your order? Your order will be accepted, and the contract between you and us will be deemed concluded when we notify you by e-mail that the order has been accepted. We only accept orders placed via the Webshop. We do not accept orders placed by telephone, fax, e-mail or letter. Registration is not required to make a purchase. Orders can be placed in the Webshop every day between 0-24 hours, unless the Webshop is not available.

How to place an order? You can place your order by selecting the product(s) you wish to purchase from the products listed. Once selected, these products will be added to your shopping cart. You can view the contents of your shopping cart at any time by clicking on the “Cart" The number of items of a product you wish to buy can be freely adjusted. Adding the selected product to your cart does not constitute a reservation of the product or a declaration of intention to purchase. For this reason, the product placed in your cart may be removed from your shopping cart if it has been purchased by another customer in the meantime or if the product has otherwise become unavailable.

Your order and commitment to the offer: The receipt of an order by us constitutes an offer on your part and creates a commitment to an offer. The order is processed in two stages. The first automatic system message sent to you by e-mail after you have placed your order is for information purposes only (first automatic system message), and only confirms the details of the order (name, e-mail address, telephone number, invoicing and delivery information, etc.), the order ID, the order date, the list of products ordered, the quantity, the price, the delivery/receipt charge, the final amount payable and the fact of our receipt of your offer, and does not constitute acceptance of your offer and the conclusion of a sale and purchase contract.

You will receive the first automatic system message within 48 hours of placing your order at the latest. If you do not receive this first automatic system message within 48 hours, you will be released from your commitment to the offer in relation to your order. The text and the annexes of the Terms and Conditions in effect will be attached to the confirmation e-mail in PDF format.

Once you have placed your order, you can proceed by clicking on “Delivery and payment”. You will then be asked to enter the details required for invoicing and delivery and to select the payment method you wish to use [online via bank card or cash on delivery]. If your invoicing address and delivery address are different, you will need to enter both addresses separately. If you do not provide your details, you will not be able to proceed with the purchase.

You can view the full contents of your Cart and the order details on the “Delivery and Payment” page. Before completing an ordering process, you can always return to a previous stage of the order, where you can correct the data entered or interrupt the order process; to do this, click on the “back” button in the browser or click on the “pencil” icon indicating the editing option in the “Order Summary” section of the “Delivery and Payment” tab. Please always check the details you have entered for your order and the contents of your shopping cart, as well as the type and quantity of each item to be ordered, before finalising your order.

Once you have entered and checked your details, you can proceed by clicking on the “Next” button. If all the details of the order are correct in the “Order Summary” section, the Customer must first accept these Terms and Conditions by ticking the corresponding checkbox, then he/she must tick a separate checkbox to expressly acknowledge that his/her order, whether paid online by bank card or by cash on delivery, entails a payment obligation. You can add comments to your order in this screen, then you can submit your order by clicking on the “Order” button at the bottom of the screen. If you prepay online by bank card, by clicking on the “Order” button, your browser will be redirected to the Barion payment interface and you will be able to make the payment as described there. By clicking on the “Pay” button, your order will be processed automatically after the payment has been completed. If the payment is successful, you will be redirected to the Webshop’s website. In case of an unsuccessful payment, no sale and purchase contract will be concluded between you and us, and your order will be rejected. The delivery and invoicing details cannot be changed once the order has been placed.

If we cannot accept and confirm your order: If we are unable to confirm and therefore accept your order, we will inform you in writing. In this case we will not charge you for the product. This may be because the product is out of stock, or our resources have unexpected constraints that we could not reasonably have anticipated, or we have found an error in the price or description of the product. If a product is unavailable, you have the option of providing your e-mail address so that you can be notified when the product is available to order.

Your order ID: We will assign an order ID to your order and will communicate it to you as soon as your order has been accepted. By providing us with the order ID, you will help us identify your order when you contact us in relation to your order.

Coupons: You have the option to enter and validate a coupon code if you have one. The discount provided by the coupon will be deducted from the total amount of the order. We will verify the coupon code, and we are entitled to refuse to validate it if invalid. It is your sole responsibility to provide a valid coupon code.

Usage fees: A fee may be charged by your electronic communications service provider under your individual subscription or other contract for Internet, mobile or other electronic connection to a device (e.g., mobile phone, etc.) that you use. Please contact your electronic communications service provider for more information on usage rates and charges.

Conclusion of the sale and purchase contract: After your order has been confirmed, we are obliged under our contract concluded with you and in accordance with these Terms and Conditions to provide you with the product ordered and the relevant documents and to arrange for its shipment to you, while you are obliged to pay us the purchase price and delivery costs in full and to take delivery of the product from us. Once the sale and purchase contract has been concluded, you will gain ownership upon full payment of the purchase price. The products shall be deemed to have been delivered at the time of delivery, and you are obliged to take delivery of the goods at the same time. The contract shall terminate upon fulfilment of the contractual obligations. The sale and purchase contract will also terminate upon lawful exercise of the right of withdrawal.

DISPATCHING THE PRODUCTS

Delivery costs: We will charge the delivery costs as indicated on our website in relation to your order. The delivery fee applicable to the contract will be the one published on our website at the time of ordering – HUF 690 gross (i.e. six hundred and ninety forints gross).

When will we dispatch the products? During the ordering process we will inform you when we will dispatch the products to you. The delivery deadline is usually 1-3 working days, which is indicative, as it may be longer than indicated in exceptional cases.

We only ship within Hungary: Delivery is made to the invoicing address or to an address in Hungary other than the invoicing address that you provide. During the term of these Terms and Conditions, the products ordered from us will be delivered only to an existing address in Hungary. Delivery of the ordered product to a PO Box address or post office is not possible. Please provide a delivery address where you are available or where an adult authorised by you can take delivery of the ordered items at the chosen delivery time.

Delivery by courier: The delivery of the ordered product is carried out by GLS General Logistics Systems Hungary Csomag-Logisztikai Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság (registered office: 2351 Alsónémedi, GLS Európa utca 2., company registration number: 13 09 111755).

The contact and address data (name, address, telephone number) provided by you will be transmitted to the contracted courier service for the purpose of delivery through our logistics partner, in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

You may contact the courier service for further information on delivery. The courier service will attempt delivery three times. After three failed attempts of delivery, we are entitled to withdraw from the contract and claim the costs incurred in relation to the delivery – HUF 690 gross (i.e. six hundred and ninety forints gross).

We are not responsible for delays beyond our control: If the delivery of the products is delayed due to an event beyond our control, we will notify you as soon as circumstances allow and will take steps to reduce any impacts of the delay. If we do this, we will not be liable for any delay caused by such event, but you can contact us to cancel the contract and, following cancellation, you can get a refund for the price of the products you paid for but did not receive.

Reservation of ownership. You will become the owner of the product as soon as we have received its purchase price in full.

PRICE AND PAYMENT METHODS

Where can you find the price of the product? The product price (including VAT) is the price indicated when you place your order. We will make every effort to ensure that the product price you are quoted is accurate. However, please see section 7.3 on what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you have ordered. The prices shown next to the products in the Webshop are in Hungarian forints and include VAT as provided by law. In relation to the delivery of the purchased product, you will be obliged to pay us a delivery charge in addition to the purchase price, as well as a handling fee if you choose to pay cash on delivery. The total amount payable will be based on the order summary and the order confirmation e-mail, and will include all costs, including the purchase price and delivery charges.

Discounts: In the case of products sold at a discount, the fact and the rate of the discount are indicated. If a product is subject to a periodic price reduction, the original price of the product, which was valid at least 30 days before the price reduction, is crossed out and the new discounted price is indicated next to it. Special offers are only valid during the periods indicated for the quantity of each product we have determined in advance or while stocks last, so please bear this in mind when placing your order.

What happens if the price is incorrect? At any time, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced or mispriced. We normally check prices before we confirm and accept your order, so, if the correct price of the product at the time of ordering is lower than the price indicated at the time of ordering, we will charge you the lower price. If the correct price of the product at the time of your order is higher than the price we have quoted to you, we will contact you for your further instructions before accepting your order. If the price is obviously incorrect because it differs significantly from the price of the product as generally known, accepted or estimated (for example, this is the case for prices of HUF 0 or HUF 1) and this error is obvious and unmistakable because you could reasonably have recognised that it was an incorrect or misleading price, we may terminate the contract, refund any amounts paid by you and at the same time reclaim the products supplied to you.

When and how do you have to pay and which payment methods are accepted? We accept online payment by bank card or cash on delivery. As a general rule, you must pay for the products before we send them to you.

Online payment by bank card: for this payment method, payment is made in advance on the Barion payment gateway after the order has been placed. For payment you can use the bank cards specified on the payment service provider's website. At the same time as you are redirected to the online payment gateway, the transaction data for the purchase are transmitted to Barion, and we do not process your bank card details. Barion Payment Zrt., the service provider, is an institution supervised by the National Bank of Hungary, and its licence number is: H-EN-I-1064/2013. No extra fees, charges or other payment obligations will be charged or imposed in respect of the choice of online payment by bank card.
Payment by cash on delivery: If you wish to pay the price of your order on receipt of your parcel, please choose the cash on delivery payment method. In this case you can only pay the purchase price in cash, for which you will be charged an additional handling fee of HUF 195 gross (one hundred and ninety-five forints gross).

Invoicing: You will receive the invoice, simplified receipt or the related electronic availability details electronically, via our invoicing partner, to the e-mail address provided at the time of ordering.

What can you do if you think the invoice we issued is incorrect? If you believe that an invoice is incorrect, please contact us immediately and let us know.

TERMINATION OF CONTRACT, RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

You have the legal rights to terminate the contract, as follows: Your rights on termination of the contract depend on what you have purchased, whether the product is faulty, how we have performed and when you decide to terminate the contract.

Your right to withdraw without giving a reason: For most products you purchase online, you have the right to change your mind and give us notice of withdrawal at any time within 14 days. This means that you can withdraw from a contract with us without giving any reason. The period of withdrawal expires 14 days after the day on which you (or your agent) take(s) delivery of the product. You also have the right of withdrawal for the period between the date of conclusion of the contract and the date of receipt of the product.

Limits to the right of withdrawal: Please note that you are not entitled to exercise your right of withdrawal if the product concerned is perishable or has a short shelf life (e.g. products that must be stored at a certain temperature, etc.) or in the case of products in sealed packaging that, for health or hygiene reasons, cannot be returned after opening following delivery (e.g. toothbrushes, ball deodorants, underwear, massage oils, sexual aids, cosmetics, dietary supplements, etc.). For more information on these restrictions, see Annex 1 of the Terms and Conditions.

Notice of withdrawal: If you wish to terminate your contract with us, please notify us by sending a notice to the hello@hu.forhercare.com e-mail address. Please include your name, address, details of the order and, where available, your telephone number and e-mail address for ease of identification.

Burden of proof in the case of a notice of withdrawal: In all cases, you will have the burden of proving that you have exercised your right of withdrawal properly and within the time limits set out in these Terms and Conditions.

Return of the products in the event of termination of the contract: If, for whatever reason, you terminate the contract after we have sent the product(s) to you or you have taken delivery of the product(s), you must return the product(s) to us without undue delay. Returns are not handled at Forhercare Kft.'s head office, as this activity is carried out by Gedeon Richter Plc. on behalf of Forhercare Kft. You must return the product by post to Gedeon Richter Plc., acting on behalf of Forhercare Kft., to 1103 Budapest, Vaspálya utca 50. When returning the product, you must clearly indicate the following on the packaging of the product to be returned: “Forhercare Webshop”. If you exercise your right of withdrawal, you must return the goods to us within 14 days of the date you notify us of your intention to terminate the contract. This deadline will be deemed to have been met if you send us the product before the 14-day deadline has expired.

When will we pay the cost of returning the goods? We will bear the cost of returning the goods:

if the product is defective or the description of the product was incorrect;
if you terminate the contract because the product is faulty or its description is incorrect, or the delay in delivery is attributable to us and is not due to circumstances beyond our control.

When do you bear the cost of returning the goods? In all cases other than those set out in the previous paragraphs, including where you exercise the right of withdrawal without giving a reason, you will bear the cost of returning the goods and we will not refund you for that cost. You will not be charged any costs other than the cost of returning the product. We will not be obliged to refund you for any additional costs resulting from your choice of a mode of transport other than the cheapest standard mode of transport offered to you.

How do we refund your money? We will refund you the purchase price paid for the products, including delivery costs if we are obliged to pay them, in accordance with the payment method you used. If you expressly agree, we will refund your money in a different way to the payment method used. You will not be charged any additional fees as a result of the different refund method. However, we may make deductions from the price as described below. If you only partially withdraw from the contract, we will refund only the purchase price of the returned products.

Deductions from your refund if you exercise your right of withdrawal: We may reduce the refunded price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect a reduction in the value of the goods, if this was caused by your handling of the goods in a way that would not be allowed in a store, that is, it was the result of a use that is beyond the use necessary for checking the nature, characteristics and function of the product.

When will a refund be made? We will execute the refunds that you are entitled to as soon as possible. We may withhold a refund until we have received the product back or until you have provided us with satisfactory proof that you have returned it to us.

Annex 3 - Model instructions under Government Decree 45/2014 (26.II.) on implied warranty, product warranty and guarantee

Implied warranty

In which cases can the Customer exercise his/her right to an implied warranty?

In the event of a defective performance by Forhercare, the Customer may assert an implied warranty claim against Forhercare in accordance with the rules of the Civil Code.

What rights does the Customer have under an implied warranty claim?

The Customer may, at his/her option, make the following implied warranty claims:

Request repair or replacement, unless compliance with the option chosen by the Customer is impossible or it results in disproportionate additional cost on the part of Forhercare compared to alternative remedies. If the Customer has not requested or could not request repair or replacement, the Customer may request a pro-rata reduction of the consideration or may repair the defect by himself/herself or have it repaired by another party at Forhercare's expense or – as a last resort – may withdraw from the contract.

The Customer may switch from the chosen implied warranty right to another, but the cost of the switch shall be borne by the Customer, unless it was justified or Forhercare gave a reason for it.

What is the time limit for the Customer to exercise an implied warranty claim?

The Customer must notify the defect immediately after its discovery, but in any case no later than two months after the discovery of the defect. However, we would like to draw the Customer's attention to the fact that he/she may no longer enforce his/her rights to an implied warranty claim beyond the two-year limitation period from the date of performance of the contract. Used goods will not be sold via the Webshop.

Against whom can the Customer enforce an implied warranty claim?

The Customer may assert an implied warranty claim against the business entity, i.e. Forhercare.

Are there any other conditions for enforcing an implied warranty claim?

Within six months from the date of performance, there are no conditions for enforcing an implied warranty claim other than reporting the defect, provided that the Customer proves that the product was provided by Forhercare, as a business entity. However, after six months from the date of performance, it is the Customer's responsibility to prove that the discovered defect already existed at the time of performance.

Product Warranty

In what cases can the Customer exercise the right to product warranty?

In the event of a defect in a movable item (product), the Customer may, at his/her option, exercise the right under “I. Implied warranty” or a claim under the product warranty.

What are the Customer's rights under a product warranty claim?

Under a product warranty claim, the Customer may only request the repair or replacement of the defective product.

In what cases is the product considered defective?

A product is considered defective if it does not meet the quality requirements in force when it was placed on the market or if it does not have the characteristics described by the manufacturer.

What is the deadline for the Customer to submit a claim under the product warranty?

The Customer has two years from the date on which the product was placed on the market by the manufacturer to make a product warranty claim. After this period, the right to claim is lost.

Against whom and under what other conditions can someone enforce a product warranty claim?

You can only enforce your product warranty claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the movable item. In order to make a product warranty claim, the burden of proving that the product is defective lies with the Customer.

In which cases is the manufacturer (distributor) exempted from its product warranty obligation?

The manufacturer (distributor) is only exempted from its product warranty obligation if it can prove that:

the product was not manufactured or distributed within the scope of its business activities, or
the defect was not recognisable given the state of scientific or technical knowledge at the time the product was placed on the market, or
the defect in the product was caused by the application of a law or a mandatory authority provision.

The manufacturer (distributor) only needs to prove one ground for exemption.

Please note that the Customer may not make both an implied warranty claim and a product warranty claim for the same defect at the same time, in parallel. However, in the event of a successful product warranty claim, you may assert your implied warranty claim against the manufacturer with respect to the replaced product or repaired part.

Guarantee

In which cases can the Customer exercise his/her right to an implied warranty?

In the event of defective performance, Forhercare is obliged to provide a guarantee in accordance with Govt. Decree 151/2003 (IX. 22.) on the mandatory guarantee for certain consumer durables.

What are the Customer’s rights under the guarantee and within what period of time?

The guarantee period starts when the product is delivered to the Customer. The guarantee period is one year unless the manufacturer of the product provides a longer manufacturer's guarantee. A completed and stamped guarantee ticket or certificate of payment (invoice) is required for repairs under guarantee.

The guarantee applies to products that are classified as consumer durables and the value of which exceeds HUF 10,000.

If the Customer starts the operation of a product covered by the guarantee after six months from the date of delivery, the guarantee period starts on the date of delivery of the product. If the product is repaired, the guarantee period shall be extended from the date of delivery for repair by the time during which the Customer could not use the product as intended because of the defect.

In the case of a defect covered by the guarantee, the Customer has the following options:

Request repair or replacement, unless compliance with the option chosen by the Customer is impossible or it results in disproportionate additional cost on the part of Forhercare compared to alternative remedies.
If the Customer has not or could not request repair or replacement, the Customer may request a pro-rata reduction of the consideration or may repair the defect by himself/herself or have it repaired by another party at Forhercare's expense or may withdraw from the Contract if the Customer no longer has an interest in repairing or replacing the product.

If, during the guarantee period, in the course of the first repair of the Product by Forhercare it is found that the Product cannot be repaired, Forhercare shall replace the Product within eight days, unless otherwise provided for by the Customer. If replacement of the Product is not feasible, Forhercare shall be obliged to refund the Customer for the purchase price indicated on the certificate of payment of the purchase price of the product presented by the Customer – the invoice or receipt issued under the VAT Act – within eight days.

If the product fails again during the guarantee period after being repaired three times – unless otherwise provided for by the Customer – and if the Customer does not request a pro-rata reduction of the purchase price pursuant to Section 6:159 (2) b) of Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code and the Customer does not wish to repair the product by himself/herself or have it repaired by another party at the expense of the business entity, Forhercare shall be obliged to replace the product within eight days. If replacement of the Product is not feasible, Forhercare shall be obliged to refund the consumer for the purchase price indicated on the certificate of payment of the purchase price of the product presented by the Customer – the invoice or receipt issued under the VAT Act – within eight days.

If the product has not been repaired within thirty days of the date on which Forhercare is notified of the repair request, Forhercare shall – unless otherwise provided for by the Customer – replace the consumer goods within eight days of the expiry of the thirty-day period without result. If replacement of the consumer goods is not feasible, Forhercare shall be obliged to refund the Customer for the purchase price indicated on the certificate of payment of the purchase price of the consumer goods presented by the consumer – the invoice or receipt issued under the VAT Act – within eight days of the expiry of the thirty-day period without result.

No withdrawal shall be possible on the grounds of a minor defect. The Customer may not make an implied warranty claim and a guarantee claim or a product warranty claim and a guarantee claim for the same defect at the same time and in parallel.

When is a business entity exempted from its guarantee obligation?
